Career
Early years and breakthrough
Born to Welsh parents, she grew up in Greater Manchester and is a member of Trafford Athletic Club. She broke through at national level in 2014, placing fourth at the British Athletics Championships. She was the Welsh senior champion that year and improved her personal best to 52.50 seconds.
2015 season
At the Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix at the start of 2015 she ran a personal best of 51.72 seconds to win the race. This run took Bundy-Davies top of the European Indoor rankings, and despite a fall in the British Athletics Indoor Championships, she was selected to represent Great Britain for the first time at the 2015 European Athletics Indoor Championships.[2] There she won a bronze in the 400 metres and a silver in 4 x 400 metres relay.[3]
She then choose to compete at the 2015 European Athletics U23 Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, finishing fourth in the individual 400m and being part of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team that claimed gold in the 4x400m relay. However, although this performance gained her selection for the relay team at the 2015 World Athletics Championships in Beijing, China, under UK Athletics policy she was made ineligible for individual 400m selection, despite meeting the required standard.[4]
